Chapter 1304: 440. Sad, the first kiss I treasured for twenty years is gone like this? - [Added 7/25]_3

I thought my life would follow the trajectory of Mother Mary Ann, but the sudden rebellion and war disrupted all my plans.

I was forced to pick up a weapon and become a warrior I could never have imagined. I thought I would die in the first battle I encountered; luckily, I met Natalie.

Without her, I probably would have died long ago.

I used to think that such desolation and sorrow were the norm of life, but after meeting you different world people, I realized that’s not the case.

Life can be lived another way.

That kind of life is called happiness and fulfillment - to us, everything you are familiar with or even repelled by is like paradise.

Niu Niu...

We really are people from two different worlds; maybe we can never truly understand each other? I heard Mother Mary Ann say that if two people who cannot understand each other can’t have a future that can be seen.

Perhaps we’ve already gone too far, don’t you think?"

Ambo sighed with regret, leaving Niu Niu speechless.

He felt that Ambo seemed to be making some decision that he would regret, and he wanted to salvage the situation - his hand even lifted, but he couldn’t speak.

He knew he couldn’t make any promises or guarantees to the "NPC" in front of him.

This was no longer a trivial matter of "dowry" or "bride price," as Ambo had mentioned, there was a whole world between them...

It was a distance that would make all that is called "love" hesitate.

Niu Niu’s mood soured.

He suddenly understood why Sister Pomegranate had always warned him not to get too close to Ambo; his sister, who had always been very smart, probably foresaw that this ambiguity would eventually turn tragic.

Just like the love between Aragorn and Arwen in The Lord of the Rings, not blessed by their own people, was a trial of time, Niu Niu’s was a trial of space, and even more complex.

It was the real versus the illusory.

So, the two who were talking and laughing just now sank into gloominess, and their journey through the swamp became irksome.

Niu Niu gripped the flail handle at his waist, annoyed, but the next moment, a burst of purple luminescence exploded behind them.

Niu Niu and Ambo turned sharply and saw a purple radiant shockwave emanating from Wicked Town as its Origin, sweeping over them before they could react; it caused no harm, but it made them aware that their position was revealed - it was certainly some kind of sudden and clandestine Reconnaissance Magic.

The worst was yet to come.

As Niu Niu stepped forward quickly, scooping up Ambo and taking flight to break free, a dazzling Psychic Lightning shot out from the high tower of Wicked Town, striking the vampire shield bearer just as he ascended.

The Graveblade Guardsman’s resistance to Spiritual Energy saved Niu Niu’s life, yet it shattered his blood wings, causing him and Ambo to plummet from the sky.

Niu Niu held the petite Ambo tightly in his arms, curling his body to meet the impact, only to unluckily crash onto an outcropped rock on the ground.

The impact caused Niu Niu’s vision to go dark, his health bar losing more than half in an instant.

But with his protection, Ambo was unharmed.

Their predicament did not end there; the Jackal Warlock’s pursuit closely followed, and a large Skeleton Army descended from all directions, trapping them in place before they could break out of the encirclement.

"Keep up with me!"

Niu Niu spat, grabbed hold of Kenbort’s ruined flail and bone shield, activated the Berserker Skill and Life Drain attached to the weapon, transforming into a Berserker charging ahead, his master-class flail sweeping away the skeletons blocking his path with every swing. The Spiritual Energy heavy weapon was more than apt for crushing these Undead creatures.

Ambo was not just dead weight.

Though this scout’s luck was truly abysmal, her combat prowess was still there.

Wielding two Witch Hunter battle swords, she followed closely behind Niu Niu. Their near-perfect coordination and combat made them quickly breach the enemy, and other scouts swiftly appeared to support, finally rescuing them at the worst possible moment.

The chase by the Jackal Warlocks stopped there.

It was clear that Tear Flesh didn’t plan on wasting too much time on these insignificant scouts. This was just a small warning. However, Niu Niu’s condition had already reached a dire state.

He had already been injured during his fall, and the subsequent Berserker Skill further sapped his vitality. After breaking free, his body weakened, and he collapsed to the ground, striking it amid Ambo’s screams.

The Witch Hunter scout picked up Niu Niu, frantically trying to pull out various Potions, but Niu Niu stopped him.

Looking at his rapidly depleting health bar, he realized that he truly wasn’t going to make it today. Tsk, he had planned on trying for a "one-life clear."

Regretfully, in this reality, such a feat was far too difficult.

"Don’t bother, we’ll meet again in three days."

Niu Niu struggled to remove his helmet, extending his hand to hold Ambo’s, and as he gazed into her eyes, he said,

"My life is expendable, but yours isn’t.

I’d rather die a hundred times than see you get hurt again. You only have one life, and if you were gone, I’d be heartbroken, and I might even leave Transylvania forever.

I’ve always known you were waiting for me to say those things...

But I can’t promise you anything, Ambo. It’s not that I don’t like you. As you said, we’re from two different worlds, but I still need to tell you...

Just over ten days ago, I turned down my classmate because of you.

She’s the kind of girl who grew up just like me, as you described. We might understand each other, yet I didn’t hesitate to reject her.

Because I like you, Ambo.

I don’t care what will become of us in the future. All I know is, when I was most lost in life, I met a female warrior a hundred times stronger than me.

Compared with everything you’ve endured, my worries are laughable...

Ah, there’s no time left, I’m dying. We’ll have to wait for the rest after three days. Remember to take my equipment with you. I worked hard to get them, and if they were lost, I would be very... mmph."

His remaining rambling words were silenced by lips carrying a sweet taste, and in that instant, Niu Niu’s eyes widened. He realized he’d just lost the first kiss he’d carefully guarded for over twenty years.

Ah, he was no longer pure, and if this continued, he’d certainly get scolded by Sister Pomegranate. But what did it matter?

With such thoughts, Niu Niu closed his eyes, responding through his actions to Ambo’s heart, which had finally been turned back and now stood firmer.

A few minutes later, Niu Niu sat up on the bed with a look of regret. He took off the helmet and gazed at his own fingers with a peculiar expression.

"Shit! Just missed by a little bit..."

He punched the wall hard, and the noise attracted several of his buddies who were washing up at the time.

"I’m dead,"

Niu Niu told them.

"There was an accident, really sucks..."

"You’re dead and yet you still have that sleazy smile on your face? Hey, have you gone stupid from gaming?"

"You don’t know shit! Let’s have a barbecue tonight! My treat."

"Don’t know what happened, but... heck yes!"
